major streaming platforms have threatened food bloggers with potential bans for overeating online
i 100% support a ban on those mukbang(?) channels or whatever they're called
Online food bloggers who binge eat for their viewers’ enjoyment have also been heavily criticized by state-run media. Major video platforms such as Douyin – China’s version of TikTok – have pledged to monitor food-related livestreams and shut down accounts that broadcast binge eating.
Langweixian, a binge-eating vlogger on Douyin with 40 million followers, had all but six of his 300-plus videos deleted from the platform. Langweixian once ate 10 packets of instant noodles in under nine minutes, according to state media.
i'll never understand how anyone can watch this stuff
What the fuck lmao
That is deeply fucked up. Good job on them for cracking down on it. Everyone in burgerland would be screaming "but muh freeeeeedom".
My partner really likes watching a mukbanger as like random mindless background videos. I'll never get it, watching anyone eat is gross as hell and mukbangers especially so.
傻逼 I understand that they want to go to war with us, but when that day comes, they will not face the fake China they imagined.
Lol it happened with the nazis. The diaries of their leaders at the start of the invasion of the ussr were like "this is the biggest movilization ever! Our victory is inevitable and glorious", 3 weeks later goebbels was like "our intel was completely wrong".
I just imagine an Arrested Development voiceover “his victory was NOT inevitable and he was found dead less than a month later”
Goebbels: The Soviets are a backward society and complete victory will come swiftly
Narrator: It wouldn't
Hitler was malding too, like depressed and pissed off that his generals underestimated the soviet resistance.
Not to mention the nightmarish logistical issues that made invasion and occupation of such a large territory extremely arduous.
I've got this special interest with regard to the amazingly-wide gulf between the perception of how effective the Amerikan military is, and how incompetent they actually are. tl;dr, practically all of our wargame simulations are heavily scripted-- when they don't script how OPFOR "is supposed to act"(direct quote from one of the overseers of MC'02), OPFORs rungs lower on the tech ladder absolutely TPK our shit with low-tech methods. Millennium Challenge '02 is a prime example of the kind of fuckery the Joint Chiefs get up to fudging how effective our troops are.
Part of me thinks they know as well and they are looking for other ways to either destabilize China or avoid war by turning shit inwards.
I imagine they have moments of clarity/more realistic factions, but that's constantly undermined by "USA #1" rah rah bullshit and "those people can't possibly beat us" racism.
I must be the most authoritarian person in the world. At the school where I work I was part of overruling a vote by the junior student council (aged 6-9) to serve sushi as a school lunch simply because it was:
Still, if a toothless but well meaning food waste campaign is the hallmark of authoritarianism, I was actually part of a small group of people with authority (in this case teachers) that straight up invalidated a democratic vote. I am authoritarian China, but even worse.
i'd vote for you
You with the single ballot:
these kids will grow up to be anti-authoritarian 🥲 funny story lol
I'm gonna stand by my authoritarian communist Chinese decision because it helps with specifically the first 5 words of what you said.
Never before has any state, much less the state of the Chinese Communist Party, been so bold as to control the agricultural sector.
That picture represents the feds unlawfully surveilling Chinese academics.

This is Not a 'The China Bad Times' Post, This is real. 😐
aH YES AUTHoritarinism is when THIS piece of shit
isnt allowed to be a wasteful racist food distributer
This sounds like a goddamn parody, holy shit. How lacking in self awareness must someone be to read an article like this and not have a "are we the baddies?" moment?
Even a Guiness Record book refuse to enter new records about eating.
